5 COVERS. PHOTOGRAPHY. Berenice ABBOTT (1898–1991). [Monograph]. Hazan, 2012. Paperback, text in French. Like new, in original plastic wrap. The exhibition “Berenice Abbott (1898–1991), Photographs,” presented at the Jeu de Paume and the Art Gallery of Ontario by the Ryerson Image Centre, traces Abbott’s rich career through 120 photographs. The catalog accompanying this retrospective focuses on four major phases of Berenice Abbott’s work: her modernist portraits from the 1920s, a period when she frequented the artistic and intellectual circles of Paris and New York; her work on New York’s urban landscape and architecture during the devastating economic crisis of the 1930s, which culminated in the publication of a book titled *Changing New York*; her fascinating yet little-known experiments in scientific photography during the 1950s, when she was employed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston and, against the backdrop of the Cold War, the United States was seeking to promote scientific research. – Ernst HAAS (1921–1986). Cinema. Steidl, 2015. Hardcover, text in French. Like new, in original plastic wrap. – Lewis HINE (1874–1940). *The National Research Project, 1936–1937*. Steidl, 2017. Text in English. Like new, in original plastic wrap. – Paul OUTERBRIDGE (1896–1958). Paul Outerbridge. Taschen, 2017. Like new, in blister pack. American photographer Paul Outerbridge created “artificial paradises” that shimmered with a distant allure. In his Cubist still lifes as well as his controversial nudes, his sensitivity to light and shadow and his innovative use of color transformed everyday objects into quasi-abstract compositions. He was among the first to exploit the expressive and commercial potential of color in photography. – Aaron SISKIND (1903–1991). Another Photographic Reality. Hazan, 2014. Aaron Siskind, a photographer, did not enjoy the same fortune as his American photographic peers: the influence of his work does not match the very few books dedicated to him. It was urgent to publish a monograph that was more than just a beautifully illustrated book. (5 volumes in total)
